8/01/2018My wife and I booked the Gerês Glacial Landscape Geotour as part of our visit to northern Portugal. Pedro was a fantastic guide and great companion for our day's adventure.... read more He picked us up in Porto and drove us to and from our destination in Peneda-Gerês National Park.
Pedro truly took us off the beaten path. We drove to our hiking location up rocky roads that we would never have been able to navigate, yet alone find on our own. We crossed into a limited access area that is not opened to the general public into a rocky mountainous land.
Highlights included our delicious picnic lunch (catered to our vegetarian diet) at a local shepherd's shelter; tour of a "wolf trap;" Pedro's passionate description of the geology of the post-glacial landscape; mingling among wild horses; and the cool dip in a waterfall-fed kettle pool at the end of the hot hike. Along the way Pedro also took a slew of photos that were shared with us.
We highly recommend a trip with Keen Tours.

5/02/20182yrs ago I had a private tour with Pedro and Rita of Keen Tours
When in June I moved permanently to Braga, first thing was to get in touch with... read more them to see if they did tours on regular basis..they sure do..and now a month in did already 3 with them..with 2 more scheduled.
They are super knowledgeable, each hike is in a different place, they know history of the area, know locals and places not normally frequented by other people and tours. Each time is new, exciting and exhilarating. They always know special spots for dips in the rivers and near waterfalls, hidden in magical spots..with Covid they provide masks as they are very invironment aware. Special friendly people. I have also experienced their picnics..wow.

12/07/2019We booked a paragliding tour in August. Rita sent us the bank details and we paid 200 euros for two paragliding flights (that only lasted 5 minutes per person due... read more to the fact that we had to wait 2 hours even though we had an appointment at 5 or 5.30 pm), a set of photographs and snacks.
Even though we were satisfied with the overall experience we felt that the price was way too high for merely two 5 minutes rides, when others were in the air for almost 20 minutes. We understand that weather is a factor and not every ride can last 20 minutes but we are outraged that we didn’t get the pictures we paid for.
Rita took photographs and assured us we would get them by email in a reasonable time.
We sent various emails:
- 1st one on August 24th to merely ask when we would the pictures
- 2nd one on September 30th (we got a reply on October 2nd and Rita told us there was a delay and we would the pictures as soon as possible)
- 3rd one on December 2nd (we got no reply)
Almost 6 months later and we still didn’t get the pictures we paid for.
Overall we are very much dissatisfied with the experience. If we had known we would have booked another tour with more professional guides and we would have gladly paid a bit more to get a better experience.

We opted to try canyoning, ... read more and it turned out to be a superb day. From the beginning all communication with Keen Tours was prompt, professional and friendly. The day of our trip, we were collected promptly and driven in comfort to the remote rural villages in the Geres national park. Our guide was Pedro, who had an amazing knowledge and very obvious love of the area and it's flora fauna and people. He was brilliant. Our canyoning expert guide was Carlos, who was equally proficient in his field, and though we were novice, was very patient with us, and relaxed professional and so good at getting all the gear set up, he made it look easy which I know it wasn't.
We had such good fun canyoning down the river, and a lovely tour of the local area, seeing the villages and wild ponies, also a delicious hearty meal, made with local produce in a great little restaurant. Highly recommend this tour company. I only wish we were here longer and could go and do some stuff with them. I have no doubt it would be brilliant. Priceless memories. Thanks More

After lunch he drove us to Guimarães where we visited the castle and then the town square where he bought us drinks! We visited the Lady of the Olive Tree Church and he explained the exterior and interior in detail. Pedro then drove us to the Bom Jesus Sanctuary. What a fantastic place and view of the city of Braga! It was evening and we watched the sunset and the changing of light. Pedro gave us a lot of info regarding the side, especially the significance of the various 'stations'. We walked down the steps, taking photos as we go along, and Pedro picked us up at the bottom of the hill and drove us to our Barcelos hotel. It was a fantastic day! Thank you Pedro and Keen Tours!
